Fancy Dress Non-Uniform Week

Week commencing Monday 27th June

Redhurst will be holding a

‘Fancy Dress Non-uniform Week’.

Your child(ren) can choose to wear a fancy dress outfit that they already have in their wardrobe or why not be original and make something a little different?

Pay £1 per class (or for more than 2 classes, pay £2 for the week), for the privilege of wearing your costume to class(es). Why not get together with a friend or group and arrange a theme?

We must point out however, ballet shoes, tap shoes and character shoes must still be worn and that costumes are not too long that will get under your feet when dancing.

Please give your donations to Miss Kay/dance assistant at the beginning of class.

We look forward to seeing our dancers in some very fancy costumes!

All donations contribute towards the Redhurst Schools Dance Show Fund.

Christmas Non-Uniform Week

Week commencing Monday 23rd November 2015 is the last week of term before “Watching Week” for Redhurst and we are holding a ‘Non-uniform Week’.

Christmas themed, it will give your child the opportunity to wear anything red or green or get out those pretty dresses or costumes and turn them all sparkly and Christmassy!

Pay £1 per class (or for more than 2 classes, pay £2 for the week), for the privilege of wearing your own outfits to class(es). Why not get together with a friend or group and arrange a theme?

We must point out however, ballet shoes, tap shoes and character shoes must still be worn and that costumes are not too long that will get under your feet when dancing.

Please give your donations to Miss Kay/dance assistant at the beginning of class.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!
